It seems the find my device functionality isn't fully baked yet. I'm able to remotely ring, erase, and lock my device, but I'm not able to locate it. The device indicates that location is turned off. Play services and maps are set to always allow on my watch, but I can't find anything else to enable the location tracking ability. Any thoughts?
Sorry no help on this other than a quick reply to say I get the exact same problem. Can ring/lock etc. as you say, but for some odd reason the find my device on the watch can't retrieve the location. I've checked all location permissions, even temporarily tuned to always allow for basically everything on the watch, but no joy.
If you find a solution let me know / post here.

At least I know I'm not the only one! I will defininitely follow up if I find something out.
I'm late to the party but have the same issue.

I'm so annoyed with this...
1. My clock simply does not ever display the correct time. It is always off by a few minutes. No, the screen isn't being touched anywhere, it's locked
2. The My Location feature doesn't find me at all. It never finds my city. My friend has the same phone and his My Location in the same city works fine. Maybe that has something to do with the clock.
3. Google Maps puts me in the same place in New York City everytime I open it, no matter what. I have Latitude on, and it's no use. It puts me in the same place no matter where I am. Makes using Google Maps kinda useless. Bing works fine. And with GPS it works fine.
If anyone can help I'd appreciate it.
Since you didn't say, I'll ask the obvious first question - do you have Location Service turned on?
Also, not sure if it would help, but update your PRL.
Hey,
Thanks for the help.
I don't know where Location Service is so good chance is that the answer is no.
Also, don't know what PRL is. Sorry.
Figured out location service. Yes, it was on.
PRL is preferred roaming list and you should periodically update it ( by dialing *228 on my Verizon ) and following the prompts as it updates your phone. It may not help your problem but it is a good idea anyway.
Sorry, I should've mentioned that I'm on T-Mobile.
I'm having issues with Google Navigation and I'm wondering if someone can help.
Let's get this out of the way first. I'm running the CM7 Nightlies, but this isn't a GPS issue. I've done the GPS fix. GPS is working fine. I can see myself in Maps to a 20m accuracy even when I'm in my concrete bunker of an office building. Google Maps sees me just fine.
I can scan around in Maps and I'm getting the satellite layer updates. I know where I am and I can see where I'd like to go. I can click on the location and the Places update comes up. I can surf around in there, read reviews and do all that that app offers. So far, so good.
If I click on the Get Directions it will provide me with a list of directions. Awesome. I know where I am, I know where I'd like to be and now I know how to get there. Great!
If I click on the Navigation button Google Navigation comes up. It goes to "Getting Directions" and will just sit there... forever...
I've cleared the app data. I've even reinstalled Maps. It still will not work. Is anyone else having this issue?
Just another piece of information, if I install Waze and all of this works fine. I can even see other Waze users driving around town live. It's not a GPS tracking issue then either. Should I just switch to Waze?
Wow... I can't believe nobody else has this issue. Has anyone else tried this?
Because I really hate it when someone has an issue, fixes it themselves and never lets anyone know how, I bumped this thread to post what the problem was and how I fixed it. That way, if anyone does a search for this problem, they have both a reference and a resolution.
I believe the problem was my overzealousness in deleting apps that I didn't use or didn't believe I used. When flashing a new ROM, the first thing I always do is go through the /system/app folder and delete the crap I didn't want on my phone. One of the things I always deleted was the GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk. I never use the quick search widget because I always pull up the browser for Google searches.
I updated to CM7 Nightly Build 39 yesterday and, instead of pulling that APK I decided to test the GPS, Maps, Places and Navigation interaction. I was able to get an almost instant GPS lock. I could scan around Maps and get the layer updates. I could find the places I wanted in Places. Then, for the real test, I attempted to get driving directions to a local restaurant. It came up in a couple seconds.
So, the morals of the story are to not delete things when you aren't completely sure of everything they are tied to and don't give up solving problems on your own when nobody else is able to help you. I hope this helps someone.
no problems here. i think u deleted something.
First post and would just like to thank everyone on here who has paved the way thus far in modding our phones. I was very skeptical at first but i have gotten the hang of everything since last week.
Anyways just flashed the syndicate EB13 madhouse rom and it works great.
I am having issues with my google search widget. Every time I try to do a search a pop-up window asks if I would like to use my location.
Agree or Disagree
Either way i choose it pops right back up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I have know posted a video. I really do not want to have to reflash this ROM. The first few times i did it my phone kept going into airplane mode.
Message: Use My Location
Do you want to allow Google to use location for improve search results and other services.
It keeps popping up over and over. I really want to use my google search instead of pulling up the internet. Any suggestions would be aprreciated
PM me for link to vid since I am too new to post and outside link. I have searched and searched for anything close to this and I would its as simple as possibly deleting the app and reflashing it or something.
Maybe try going into your settings> locations etc and turning location services on. Search and then turn off. Maybe that will work around it? Then try searching again without services on and see if the pop up still comes up. Otherwise, you can always search through the address bar in the browser. Set your search engine through the settings in the browser...

Work no longer let's us carry our phones with us there for the 360 will spend a lot of its time with no phone connection. I'm assuming it will still keep time? I only ask because an early Sony smart watch couldn't. What else? Can you still set timers use the stop watch? Can you use apps that don't require Internet connection like a calculator?
Anyone?
I don't have one but if it's like the g watch you will be able to still use the functions you asked about.

That's what I would expect.. But you never know these days. I just didn't want some usless brick that says please sync all day.
Thanks
Yes, I can still check the time, set a timer, use the stop watch, etc. I haven't found a calculator app that works on the round display, yet.
It seems like voice recognition doesn't work, but anything you can run from the menu does. So you can set an alarm, timer, etc, though you have to use the touch interface which may not be as flexible.
I hope they give the option for offline voice recognition at some point. I think it would be very advantageous to be able to do basic tasks like setting reminders, alarms and creating notes etc. these could easily then sync once the phone is reconnected. There's no hardware reason why this wouldn't be possible it will just require implementation.

Also, if you put it in airplane mode, it doesn't even give you the voice prompt screen... instead it immediately shows the list of activities / apps you can do. Voice on that screen does not work at all. Too bad!

I'm pretty sure this is not possible. When you first take it out of the box, it asks for a language, after selecting one, no swiping, tapping, or anything else can get it from a screen saying to download the Wear app on your phone. It simply will not do anything until it does.
That's my experience, anyway. I couldn't get anything until my phone synced.

Yeah I talked to motorola customer service and they said that it won't ask that if it doesn't detects a android phone nearby. Hope this is true.
You have access to all of your watch apps like still. All apps that depended on your phone (like google now) won't work anymore. Basically what you'd expect.
I can't get Smart unlock to work with safe places. I've set my home address, which shows fine in the list of safe places, and it shows correctly in the map. But the phone keeps asking to be unlocked even if I'm at home.
I've tried rebooting it, turning off and on the location... Location seems to be working fine.
Any advice on how to make it work?
High location on? Noticed battery saver won't unlock it. Haven't tried GPS only..

Well I tried that, but it's not letting me since it says that location has been already added, and I can't remove it, only turn it off.
One thing I've realized is that every time I reboot the phone I get a "Google play services stopped working" error. Could that have anything to do? Even after saying that, if I go to running applications it shows there, so I guess it just starts itself after crashing.
BTW whrn i installed the lolipop update I did a full factory reset.
EDIT:
I cleared the Google play services data and rebooted, this time it didn't crash. However safe places still are ignores and my phone keeps locking when it shouldn't
Tried toggling the Smart lock in trusted agents?

Tried that too without success... I don't get what is going on! It was my most anticipated feature
Could you let me know what you did to set it up? What settings you changed? Just trying to figure out if I'm missing something....
Thanks for all your help!
That's the feature I wanted from lollipop after leaving my Nexus 5.. Ive done just as a suggested.. Weird. Only other thing I'd try is to disable smart lock and a lock screen code, then setup through smart lock again.

My smart lock works intermittent. I would say a quarter of the time the smart lock operates. It's a shame, it's a really nice idea.
Wait, I may have found a possible solution http://forums.androidcentral.com/an...-lock-trusted-places-not-working-anymore.html
Update: Yes, uninstalling Google play services updates and then reinstalling updates followed by a reboot solved all my issues.
smart location has issues its not very accurate so if you want it to work at your location you'll have to add areas surrounding your location
as per Google's recommendation if smart location does not work try adding your location via pin tips.
Hi, I didn't want to start a new thread. My smart lock feature stopped working around 2 months ago and I already tried everything (except for a factory reset) and I can't get it work. Neither trusted device nor places work. I hoped that the recent AT&T update (installed it yesterday) would help, I deleted all trusted devices, wiped the cache partition, added bluetooth devices again with no luck.
Any idea how to get it work? I do not want to factory reset just to find you it did not help. Thank you.
It didn't work for me before, the recent update fixed it.
